Do you mean natural waist/empire? There are plenty of brides, they just might not understand what you mean. My dress is dropped waist (fitted to the hips), so I can’t really chime in, but I’m sure you look stunning in your dress.

I don’t like the drop waist on my body type, it makes me look even shorter. Here is my gown with the natural waist. I love how it cinches me in at the waist and then poofs out to hide my belly. I won’t have to worry about sucking it in all night, ha ha.
